New Volvo DD25B double drum compactor delivers industry-leading productivity and performance

The Volvo DD25B double drum compactor is powered by a durable and fuel-efficient three-cylinder engine that meets strict Tier 4 Final emissions regulations without the cost and complexity of an after-treatment system. By conforming to the strict air emission standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the state of California, the new DD25B designed with the Volvo D1.7A Tier 4 Final 25 hp engine reduces particulate matter and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The Tier 4 Final engine delivers the ultimate combination of high productivity and low fuel consumption with a seven percent decrease in fuel from the previous engine without any added cost of servicing the SCR or DPF. The new Tier 4 engine with a matching hydraulic system continues to deliver high performance from Volvo, and this seven percent improvement in fuel consumption is industry-leading.

The DD25B offers high frequency compaction, a choice of 3300 or 4000 vpm depending on application, with increased productivity, by allowing the operator to travel at higher speeds while still maintaining optimum impact spacing. Safety and precision are enhanced by the angled drum mounts, sloping hood design and optimally positioned sliding seat, which provide the operator with a 360-degree view of the drum edges and surroundings when the compactor is rolling forwards and in reverse. The machined drums with chamfered edges are perfectly cylindrical, producing a smooth, mark-free mat, while the advanced eccentric system ensures powerful performance, equivalent to machines fitted with a significantly larger engine.
